“The Inspiring Activist” | Why Natalie Portman Is Much More Disingenuous Than People Think

At this Variety Power of Women event, Natalie Portman gives a speech to “dispel the myths” about why women aren’t sufficiently represented in workplaces and leadership positions. Magazines have called Portman’s speech “a forceful case for gender parity”, “rousing”, and “stirring”. However, as this in-depth language analysis shows, there are problematic aspects to Portman’s argumentation. Thus, this analysis highlights how Portman keeps moving the goalpost in her speech; how she contradicts the “equality” she says she wants, and how she oversimplifies objections.

Today, celebrities are given huge platforms to persuade people about different causes. This critical analysis reveals what people need to be aware of before accepting the information they hear.

As an analysis, this video is made according to the terms of ‘fair use’. The video has an educational purpose, and you can use many of the principles and concepts to decode your own daily conversations.
